Last night, the Athletics opened this week’s six-game road trip with a 2–1 win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The newly crowned May American League Player of the Month Nick Kurtz and starting pitcher Gage Jump played key roles in the victory.

Wednesday notes… Cubs lineup: Athletics lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Jeffrey Springs, LHP Colin Rea hit a bit of a rough patch early in May but his last two starts were at least decent. That’s what we expect from him, right? Rea threw the last three innings of the Cubs’ 18-3 thrashing of the A’s […]

Mason Miller’s elite Padres dominance leads to feat not seen since 2022
Since the San Diego Padres traded for reliever Mason Miller from the Athletics at last year’s trade deadline, he has been the best reliever/closer in the National League. His dominance has lifted the Padres big time, and he is getting the credit for it. On Wednesday, Miller was awarded the NL Reliever of the Month […] The post Mason Miller’s elite Padres dominance leads to feat not seen since 2022 appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Wednesday Potpourri: What’s Up With Butler, Closer, June Plan?
Today’s grab bag of talking points comes after the A’s squeaked out a 2-1 win over the streaky Cubs. A good and important win, if frustrating because the A’s faced a flammable SP and had to eek out a victory by the seat of their pants. But they did so all is well for a […]
Elephant Rumblings: A’s Pitching Depth Will be Tested
Happy Wednesday A’s Fans! Entering the third full month of the 2026 MLB season, the Athletics will hope to play better after languishing through their fifth straight losing May. The team’s pitching depth will be tested this month as four of the five members of the Opening-Day starting rotation are no-longer on the active roster. […]
Athletics 2, Cubs 1: Jameson Taillon throws well, but the offense disappears. Again.
Years ago, when Bob Brenly was the Cubs radio analyst, he appeared at a fan forum in Mesa, Arizona. Someone asked him about the job and I’ll never forget his answer. Brenly said, “I have the best job in baseball. I come to the ballpark every day, have a great seat for the game, and […]
Jump Dominant As Athletics Beat Cubs 2-1
The A’s were able to snap their losing ways on Tuesday evening, winning the series opener against the Chicago Cubs behind a strong second start from their prized rookie starting pitcher and winning their 29th game of the season in a 2-1 win. Starting the road trip right! Taking the hill for the A’s tonight […]

Game #60: Athletics at Cubs Game Thread
It’s almost time folks. The A’s are set to begin their road trip with the series opener in Chicago against the Cubs. We need a win desperately and to shake these bad vibes off. A big road trip, which includes a trip to Houston later, would help wipe away these tough past couple of weeks […]
Chicago Cubs vs. Athletics preview, Tuesday 6/2, 7:05 CT
Today’s roster move: Here Tuesday notes… Cubs lineup: Athletics lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Gage Jump, LHP I’m not sure what to say about Jameson Taillon anymore. His last three starts have been, well, awful. The numbers back me up: 14.2 innings, 21 hits and four walks (1.705 WHIP), 16 runs (all earned, 9.82 ERA), […]

Latest On Athletics’ Rotation
The Athletics have taken a few rotation hits lately, with both Luis Severino and Aaron Civale hitting the injured list, the former due to a shoulder strain and the latter due to right shoulder tendonitis. Per Martín Gallegos of MLB.com, Civale has already begun a throwing progression but the update on Severino isn’t nearly as […]
Athletics Select Kade Morris
June 2nd: The A’s made it official today, announced they have selected Morris. They also recalled Barnett. In corresponding moves, they optioned Lopez and right-hander Michael Kelly. To open a 40-man spot for Morris, righty Brooks Kriske has been transferred to the 60-day injured list. Kriske hit the 15-day IL on May 13th with a […]
On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Athletics series preview
Last year, I chose to call the team visiting the Cubs this week the “Sacramento Athletics.” That usage didn’t really catch on, and since MLB and most media (including baseball-reference.com) are just calling them “Athletics,” that’s what I will do — until they complete their move to Las Vegas. And that’s true even while I […]
Elephant Rumblings: A’s Look For Bounce Back On Road Trip
Welcome to Tuesday everyone! Happy Lou Gehrig Day! The A’s are set to begin their next new series, hitting the road to take on the Chicago Cubs in the first of three mid-week contests. The Athletics are coming off a terrible 1-5 homestand that saw them drop from first place in the AL West to […]
Chicago Cubs news — PCA, Brown, Busch, Bregman
Today’s Reflections What a roller-coaster in St. Louis. Saturday night, it looked like things were returning to normal. Then the old/new bats of the 10-loss days returned, and Jordan Wicks doesn’t appear to be more than AAAA quality starter. Maybe the Athletics and Giants can bring six games of rebounding for the Cubs. Jim Bowden […]
Three Things To Watch For The Athletics In June
Another year, another tough month of May that saw the Athletics struggle and knock us down in the standings. It wasn’t as bad as last year when the team lost pretty much every game that month but it was a tough month for the Athletics regardless. Big changes are on the horizon as the team […]
Sacramento’s Billion-Dollar Baseball Bet Is About Much More Than Sports
Sacramento is spending $1.8B to prove what Miami couldn’t: A baseball stadium can save a city. After the Athletics moved from Oakland to Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California, the place became their temporary home. But things are about to change, as they are planning a move to Las Vegas, and Sacramento wants its […] The post Sacramento’s Billion-Dollar Baseball Bet Is About Much More Than Sports appeared first on EssentiallySports .
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays’ McClanahan continues to dominate the Angels
It was a day of crooked numbers for much of the American League East. The Yankees rode their 13-run (!) third inning to victory over the Athletics. Meanwhile, Boston and Toronto were on opposite ends of high-scoring games with the BoSox emerging victorious as the Jays got routed by Baltimore. Unfortunately for New York, Tampa […]
Elephant Rumblings: Kade Morris Promoted To Big Leagues
Welcome to another new week A’s fans! The homestand was not kind to the Athletics. First they got swept in the middle of the week by the Seattle Mariners before dropping two of three to the Yankees this weekend. They now sit at 28-31, which is tied for second in the AL West and two […]
Athletics’ Jacob Lopez prepared for demotion after getting roughed up by Yankees
Jacob Lopez did not need to be humbled on Sunday afternoon. The left-handed pitcher already faced loads of adversity long before he served a role in one of the biggest single-inning disasters in Athletics history, so he knows how impermanent life in the MLB can be. Experience does not always soften the blow of disappointment, […] The post Athletics’ Jacob Lopez prepared for demotion after getting roughed up by Yankees appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay hints at major changes after Yankees loss
The Athletics closed a disappointing homestand with a 13-8 loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday, and manager Mark Kotsay suggested roster changes could be coming after a game undone by one disastrous inning. New York went off for 13 runs in the top of the third, sending 18 batters to the plate during […] The post Athletics manager Mark Kotsay hints at major changes after Yankees loss appeared first on ClutchPoints .
